Abstract
Hospital discharge data from Rhode Island were used to assess the role of motor vehicle crashes in causing several types of serious injuries. Motor vehicle crashes were the cause of injury for approximately two-thirds of patients hospitalized with injuries to the chest organs, liver, and spleen, and approximately one-third of those with traumatic pneumothorax or hemothorax, and injuries to the head, kidney, intestine, distal femur, pelvis, and patella.Entities:
